VOLUME SEVEN
SCRAP COLLECTED IN
COUNTY AND DELIV
ERED TOTALS 194,012
The total pounds of
scrap metal from Yancey
county already delivered
either to the W. P. A. col
lection center or sold to
junk dealers 1s now 194,012
pounds.
The reports gathered
Wednesday evening listed*
the following:
To W. P. A. collection
center, Spruce Pin 3, 82,602.
Collected by Black Mtn.,
Railway, 27,000.
Sold by Micaville high
school, 58,670 for total of
$349.00.
Sold by Burnsville high
school, 2i,295 for total of
$90.88. ..
Sold by Town of Burns
ville, 4,445.
Transportation is Problem
The people of the county
have shown an enthusiasm
in the drive, and the school
children have worked with
zeal and determination;
but the problem of trans
portation Jias been the
greatest drawback. Pri
vate trucks have carried
loads to junk dealers i n
Asheville to move most of
the 84,410 pounds that J
have been sold direct t o
Jlsata,. ___ ... _ . ,
Railway Cooperates
The Bla e k Mountain
Railway has cooperated in
the drive by having em
ployees in the county col
lect scrap through the
county. The flat car ship
ped last week totaled 27, 1
ojo pounds.
Quota is 100 Pound Per
Capita
The quota for the entire
state is 100 pounds perj
capita, and for the county
this will mean nearly two
million pounds. That
means there’s a long way
to go before the quota is>
reached.
Major Portion still On
Hand
A major portion of what
has been collected is still in
the county. None has been
moved from Clearmont
school where it is estimat
ed that one of the largest
amounts in the county has
been collected. Some
amount still remains at the
consolidated schools and at
the smaller schools throu
ghout the county.
Some of the larger piec
es have not been turned in
since there has been no fa
cilities for cutting them up.
The 3-week contest spon-i
sored by the newspapers of
the state will close on Oct
ober 21, and as much scrap;
